Podcasting in a Writing Class? Considering the Possibilities

Overview

Welcome
to “Podcasting in a Writing Class? Considering the Possibilities,” a
multimodal project exploring podcasting as a part of a writing class.
This text has two main components: a hypertextual webtext and a six
episode podcast series. I encourage you to listen to the podcasts and
explore the webtext to experience the full article. I focus on the
practice of podcasts in our writing classes.

Each
Episode has the full transcript in the lyrics field of the MP3 file. If
you do not know how to find the lyrics field of MP3 files, check out my
instructions.

This multimodal text is a companion to another multimodal text “Rhetorical Roots and Media Future: How Podcasting Fits into the Computers and Writing Classroom.”
In “Rhetorical Roots” I address how podcasting may be used in
classrooms to help students rethink the “old” writing concepts we have
been teaching, such as audience, tone, purpose, and context—along with
the five canons—in new ways and consider how students may bring the
lessons they learned from podcasting back to their print text writing.
